Correct Clipper Head Oiling; Turning On/Off - Kerbl 18190 Bedienungsanweisung

3. Initial commissioning
3.1 Inspection and operating instructions
The inappropriate use of electrical devices, in particular animal breeding devices, is dangerous! Therefore, observe the
following, accident prevention measures before starting the machine.
• Never switch the machine on without properly mounted clipping plates • The volt specifi cation on the rating plate
must correspond to the mains voltage. The machine may only be operated with AC • Avoid any contact with the moving
blades • Always pull the power supply plug out prior to maintenance work! Do not touch the blade area, even if the
machine is switched off, as long as the machine is connected to the current supply • Always place machine on a dry
surface and store in dry rooms • Avoid any contact with a machine, which is in contact with liquids. Never clip wet
animals. Liquids that have penetrated into the machine reduce the electrical insulation. There is the imminent danger of
an electric shock or short-circuit. Only clean the machine with a dry cloth and a paint-brush or brush • A cable lying on
the fl oor can get caught and be dangerous. Lay the cable carefully and safely before clipping. Prevent the clipper connec-
tion cable from kinking or tangling. Ensure that animals do not stand on the cable, walk over it or get caught. Keep the
cable away from hot surfaces. Never wind the cable around the machine. This can result in insulation damage and cable
break. Examine the cable regularly for defects • Set the machine switch to off (fi g. 8, position 0) before pulling the plug
from the mains • Do not use damaged shear blades with broken off teeth.Only use sharp shear blades. Only use the
original shear blades • Never insert an item into an opening of the machine. The machine noise can disturb animals.
A kick or the weight of the animal can result in substantial injuries. Therefore fi xate the animal suffi ciently. • Animals
should only be clipped, when unauthorised persons do not have access to the clipping location • Only clip in well-venti-
lated rooms and never in the proximity of explosive materials. These safety notes must be observed in all cases!
3.2 Correct shear blade adjustment
Adjust as follows when placing into operation:
Prior to clipping: With switched off machine (fi g. 8). After mounting the shear blade, turn the tensioning nut until you
feel a noticeable resistance. Ensure that the tapers of the pressure fork mate with the holes in the upper blade (fi g. 11).
Ensure that the teeth tips of the upper blades are located approximately 1,5 - 2 mm behind the polished area of the
lower blades (fi g. 10). Oil the shear blades before use. You can now start to use the shears. Loosen the tensioning nut
until the shear blade has hardly any contact pressure anymore. Important note: The upper blade can fall out, if the
tensioning nut is opened too far. Slowly tighten the tensioning nut until you detect some resistance. Continue to turn the
tensioning nut by max. 360°. Start to clip. Reset the tensioning nut somewhat, if the cut is not satisfactory.
During clipping: Do not tension the shear blade too much. The tensioning nut must be slightly tightened during clip-
ping from time to time.

3.3 Correct clipper head oiling

The most frequent error cause for a non-satisfactory clipping result as well heating up of the clipper is want of lubrica-
tion. A light oil fi lm on the shear blades is essential for an optimal clipping result as well as to increase the service life of
the shear blades and machine. All other moving parts of the clipper head must also be well lubricated. Drip oil on the
shear blades and into the oil opening of the clipper head every 10 minutes, so that these do not run dry. Only
use our special clipper machine oil (fi g. 6 + 7).

3.4 Turning on/off

The slide switch has two positions (fi g. 8, shows position 0)
Position 1: Machine is turned on
Position 0: Machine is turned off
Check the switch position before plugging in. The switch must be in position 0. Only use the slide switch for turning the
machine on and off.
4. Maintenance
Turn the machine off and pull the power supply plug before beginning maintenance work. Always disconnect the power
supply fi rst before working on the shear blades/clipper head. Do not touch the shear blade area even if the machine is
switched off as long as the clipper is still connected to the current supply.
